Fishing Vacation, Game Boy-themed horror adventure, gets surprise Switch release

Publisher DreadXP and developer Teebowah Games have not only announced a Switch version of Fishing Vacation, but released it as well. It’s up on the Switch eShop now.

Fishing Vacation was originally made for Fishing Horror Jam 2020 and came out as an expanded standalone game on Steam last April. It has elements of a fishing adventure, atmospheric horror, and humor.

Here’s some additional information:

In Fishing Vacation, you and your buddy have the keys to their uncle’s cabin up in the mountains near the best lake you’ve ever fished in! The ecology has changed since the last time that you visited, though. Uncle is nowhere to be found… but don’t let that stop you from reeling in a big one!

Over the span of three days, you’ll dig up your own worms and catch your own dinner as you uncover the mysteries of the vacant cabin and the whereabouts of your friend’s uncle and their family.

Key Features

• MOIST: Over 30 types of fish and creatures to catch
• HA, AHH!: A humorously horrific story
• REDO: More than three endings to unlock (roughly 30 mins to an hour per playthrough)
• RETRO: Over ten color palettes to choose from

The game is currently available on the Switch eShop for $1.99.
